NEW  YORK  COLONIAL  SCHOOLMASTERS 
(From  the  first  English  Occupation  to  the  Evacuation) 
1664-1783 

Robert  Francis  Seybolt,  Ph.D. 

University  of  Wisconsin 

Although  this  list  of  schoolmen  has  no  direct  bearing  upon  the 
history  of  the  free  school  movement,  yet  we  must  appreciate  the 
part  they  played.  History  is  probably  the  best  proof  as  to  the  part 
schools  have  played  in  its  making.  We  can  probably,  without 
injustice,  attribute  a great  deal  to  these  schoolmen  as  being  among 
those  who  from  the  beginning  were  conscious  of  the  responsibility 
the  State  had  in  the  education  of  its  youth,  and  this  probably  laid 
in  the  minds  of  the  young  the  principles  that  came  to  pass  in  the 
generations  to  come.

This  list  is  not  exhaustive.  It  would  be  impossible  to  name  all 
the  schoolmasters  of  the  English  colonial  period.  Even  if  all  the 
names  could  be  secured,  the  number  would  still  seem  to  be  inade- 
quate for  so  long  a period.  In  this  connection,  one  must  keep  in 
mind  the  fact  that  instruction  of  various  grades  was  also  given  by 
parents,  older  children,  tutors  and  ministers. 

No  attempt  has  been  made  to  classify  the  schoolmasters;  in  many 
cases  this  would  be  impossible.  Many  are  mentioned,  in  the  records, 
merely  as  schoolmasters.  We  know  that  most  of  them  were  English, 
and  taught  in  English  elementary  and  secondary  schools.  A rela- 
tively small  number  were  Dutch,  and  most  of  these  taught  in  Dutch 
schools.  Ministers  and  catechists,  as  such,  are  not  included  in  the 
list. 

Kemp  and  Kilpatrick,  as  sources  of  information  for  the  colonial 
period,  are  reliable.  Only  verifiable  references  have  been  taken  from 
Pratt.
